Super Group: Net Profit rose 29% to $82.6M in the back of Revenue $519.3M. Net profit for the financial year ended 31 December 2012 increased by 29% to S$82.6m due mainly to higher sales revenue and higher gross profit margin (FY12: 35%, FY11: 32%) achieved in the current year. In view of the sterling set of results achieved by the Group, the Board of Directors has proposed a second and final dividend of 5.1 cents (FY11: 3.8 cents) per share. Together with the interim dividend of 2.0 cents (FY11: 2.0 cents) per share paid in September 2012, total dividend for the current year amounted to 7.1 cents (FY11: 5.8 cents) per share.

Petra Foods: Strong performance achieved by Branded Consumer Division with net profit higher 38.6% Year-on-Year to US$54.5M and proposed Final cash dividend of 1.86 US cents, lifting total dividend for the year to 3.97 US cents. Commenting on the year’s performance, Petra Foods’ Chief Executive Officer, Mr John Chuang said, “With the proposed divestment of the Cocoa Ingredients business, this will be a significant change for Petra Foods. We will now be able to focus exclusively on growing our
Branded Consumer business where the combined strengths of our market leading Brands, product innovation and distribution together with the growing regional markets will drive the growth.”

Samudera Shipping Line: The Group recorded 3% increase in revenue for the full year ended 31 December 2012 (“FY12”) to US$467.7M, compared to US$454.2M recorded in the previous year (“FY11”). This revenue growth was achieved by optimizing the fleet utilization in all segments. The Group recorded net profit attributable to equity shareholders of US$4.2 million, down from US$12.0 million in FY11. The subdued industry situation in 2012 looks likely to be extended into 2013, as sluggishness in the world’s major economies continue to hamper the recovery of global trade, and challenges relating to the vessel oversupply situation persist.

Sembcorp Industries: Recorded orderbook of $13.6b with deliveries stretching into 2019. But net profit
fell 19% to $204.7m despite solid contributions from utilities business as its
marine unit faced a margin squeeze from new design rigs. DPS shaved to 15¢ from
17¢ previously.

STX OSV: Hugely disappointing results with 4Q net profit
sinking 81% to NOK124M. The group blamed its poor
performance on low yard utilization in Norway, Vietnam and hiccups in Brazil,
which dragged EBITDA margins down to 11.3% from 28% previously. No dividend was declared.

Dyna-Mac: FY12 results recorded net profit of $28.4M and revenue of $215.3M. This came on the
back of higher volume of projects as its S’pore yard operated at full capacity
as well as contributions from its newly acquired yard in Nansha, China. DPS of
2¢ proposed.

Yongnam: Booked net profit of $43.5M and revenue of
$301.6M for FY12, which are in line with expectations. The weaker
performance is due to lower contributions from structural steelworks arising
from slower progress in certain ongoing projects as well as completion of major
projects in 2011 and follows 6 consecutive years of record profits. Order book
remained strong at $400.6M.

Bumitama Agri: FY12 results came in slightly above
expectations. The group chalked up a 3% net profit growth to Rp787.9m despite
incurring a Rp123m fall in fair value gains. Revenue jumped 26% to Rp3.5b,
boosted by increase in sales volume of CPO and PK, which were partially
mitigated by lower average selling prices.

*Centurion: FY12 core
net profit recorded $9.5M as revenue at $65.2M. Positive results
were supported largely by recent expansion and acquisitions in its worker
dormitory business. Final DPS of 0.4¢, bringing total FY12 DPS to 0.7¢.

customers; the first project is to integrate topside modules of a FPSO unit for

Health, a leading global distributor of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies. This
brings the total space leased to Cardinal Health to 29,300 sqm located across Beijing,
Shanghai and Shenyang.

*HI-P: Offers guidance of a better performance in 2013
compared to 2012. For this yr, it flags a 1Q loss but expects an improved 2H to

feedback for its new Blackberry 10.
